What will be an ideal response?


Advantages of group behavioral skills training are:
• It can be more efficient than individual behavioral skills training, because instructions and modeling are presented to the whole group.
• Each group member learns by watching other group members rehearse the skills and receive feedback on their performance.
• Group members learn by evaluating the performance of other group members and providing feedback.
• With a variety of group members participating in role-plays, generalization may be enhanced.
• The magnitude of reinforcement for successful rehearsal is increased when praise comes from other group members as well as the trainer.
Disadvantages are:
• Each individual does not have the trainer's undivided attention.
• Some members may not actively participate or may dominate and limit the participation of other members.
